Africa Matters: Cultural Politics, Political Economies, and Grammars of Protest - Paperback

by Pius Adebola Adesanmi (Editor), Blair Rutherford (Editor)

Africa Matters: Cultural politics, political economies, & grammars of protest provides a sampling of insightful articles from the first five issues of Nokoko, journal of the Institute of African Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. It brings together pieces that the journal's editorial board felt were particularly perspicacious in their analysis and resonant in their crafting. Uniting them in this book permits a new dialogue to emerge around the key themes of cultural politics, political economies and grammars of protest. Their intersection here sheds light on important issues for Africans in the twenty-first century. Includes contributions by Wendy Thompson Taiwo, Nduka Otiono, Suvi Lensu, Grace Adeniyi-Ogunyankin, Elizabeth Cobbett, Jessica Evans, Nadège Compaore, Wallace Chuma, Stephanie Urdang, Sinmi Akin-Aina, Wangui Kimar, Jacob Rasmussen, Gacheke Gachihi, Blair Rutherford and Pius Adesanmi
